                                          The issue of the +securities to be quoted complies with the law and is not for an illegal purpose.

 

                                          There is no reason why those +securities should not be granted +quotation.

Note: An entity may need to obtain appropriate warranties from subscribers for the securities in order to be able to give this warranty

 

                                          Section 724 or section 1016E of the Corporations Act does not apply to any applications received by us in relation to any +securities to be quoted and that no-one has any right to return any +securities to be quoted under sections 737, 738 or 1016F of the Corporations Act at the time that we request that the +securities be quoted.

 

                                          We warrant that if confirmation is required under section 1017F of the Corporations Act in relation to the +securities to be quoted, it has been provided at the time that we request that the +securities be quoted.

 

                                          If we are a trust, we warrant that no person has the right to return the +securities to be quoted under section 1019B of the Corporations Act at the time that we request that the +securities be quoted.

 


+ See chapter 19 for defined terms.
